Clockwise's core functionality resides on events and actions. For example, you can set an alarm clock event so your mac wakes you up every day to your favorite tune - with a different wake time for weekends. Or you may want to open a website every week to check its latest contents. If you need to take pills for a week before lunch, want a picture of your room emailed to you every ten minutes, or simply want to think of the pizza when it is ready, Clockwise will remember and do it so you won't have to. You could even have Clockwise read a dictionnary out loud during your sleep, or tweet your mac's CPU temperature!

There are plenty of timer and alarm clock apps already, but Clockwise really goes beyond the ordinary with the long list of actions and customisation options available. You can, for instance, use it to run AppleScripts each second tuesday of the month, open a website every weekday at 3pm, or even send someone an email with an iSight photo as attachment every hour on the hour. You can set countdowns or run the action immediately through a keyboard shortcut. The power is unparalleled.

This software is designed for any type of users. Clockwise is meant to be simple and easy to use, but also powerful so that power users can also do what they want.
